Washington County Decision Makers: Where are the Women?

Presented by Arts to Zion and Utah Tech University (formerly Dixie State) and Washington County Historical Society and Silver Reef Museum and Utah Humanities at Boeing Auditorium, Udvar-Hazy Building, Saint George UT
Crossroads oﬀers a chance to look at the role of Women over the past century – to highlight the changes women have experienced – and think about what’s next.
Washington County is far more urban than rural at this point. This change from rural to urban presents opportunities and challenges. When does unbridled growth begin to confuse our crossroads with promises unable to be kept – creating an intersection that promises prosperity but at a speed that may erase livability. We are still determining if the growth we see will erase livability. Women’s roles in this evolution from rural to urban will be our focus.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Lucille Hunt
Lucille Hunt is a recognized and respected traditional Navajo storyteller and translator. She loves and enjoys sharing her stories that have been taught to her from childhood. She was born and raised in eastern Navajoland. She lived in a hogan next to her grandmother Haazbaa’, from whom she learned many of the traditional ways and stories. She was introduced to the English language at the age of six when she started school at the Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding school in New Mexico. During her presentation, she will share some of her first encounters with this new world. As a child, she also learned the traditional dances as her grandfather beat the drum and sang the songs. She will share with you one of those dances. Lucille has been a member of the Utah Humanities presenters for many years and is a recipient of the Utah Humanities Council Road Scholar 2005 Merit Award. Her presentations have been under these titles: “My Grandmother’s Teachings”, “The Changing Navajo”, and “The Navajo Way: Customs and Traditions, Past and Present”. She has presented to audiences of all sizes in public schools and universities, as well as private and government organizations throughout the state of Utah and other states. Lucille is a professional translator of her Native Navajo language. She continues to work in translating materials for various institutions. She has written many short stories of which the most popular one is titled, “The Eagle Can Fly”. It is a fable about an eaglet who discovers the power of his heritage and begins to exercise that power. She’s married to Calvin Hunt of Santa Clara, Utah, where they reside. She loves that on the day she married, 37 years ago, she became a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. She is now a great-grandmother.
